Lets's calculate GCF of 425,195
5 | 425, 195 |
85, 39 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 425
:1,5,17,25,85,425
Now, list down the factors of 195
:1,3,5,13,15,39,65,195
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 425,195 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 425,195 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,840
5 | 85, 840 |
17, 168 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 17 x 168 = 14280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/14280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 425/85,195/840 is 5/14280
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 85,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,840) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,840) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(85,840) = ( 85 × 840 ) / 5
LCM(85,840) = 71400 / 5
LCM(85,840) = 14280
